Why @ (at the rate of) symbol is used in an email id?
By maverickmonk
The '@' symbol is used to distinguished between the userID 'n
Domain name (like hotmail,yahoo,rediff etc).
Email was invented in 1971 by a computer engineer,called Ray
Tomlinson, who worked for Bolt Bernek and Newman(BBN)-- the company chosen by
the United States Defense Department to build the first internet,way back in
1968
The '@' symbol in email addresses was chosen by Tomlinson
coz he wanted a keyboard character that didnt occur in people's names.It is
said that he spent just 30-40 seconds to think up the choice of symbol
U Know the first mail which was sent (between two computer
that were actually sitting beside each other),bore the text 'QWERTYUIOP'. the
first row alphabets on a QWERTY keyboard
How to Repeat Row and Column Headings When You Print in Excel 2007
Excel 2007’s Print Titles command enables you
to print particular row and column headings on each page of the report. Print
titles are important in multipage reports where the columns and rows of related
data spill over to other pages that no longer show the row and column headings.
Don’t confuse print titles with the header of
a report. Even though both are printed on each page, header information prints
in the top margin of the report; print titles always appear in the body of the
report — at the top, in the case of rows used as print titles, and on the left,
in the case of columns.
1
Click the Print Titles button
on the Ribbon’s Page Layout tab.
The Page Setup dialog box appears with the Sheet tab selected.
2
To designate worksheet
rows as print titles, select the Rows to Repeat at Top text box and then drag
through the row number(s) (in the worksheet frame) with data you want to appear
at the top of each page.
If necessary, reduce the Page Setup dialog box to just the Rows
to Repeat at Top text box by clicking the text box’s Collapse/Expand button.
3
To designate worksheet
columns as print titles, select the Columns to Repeat at Left text box and then
drag through the column letter(s) (in the worksheet frame) with the data you
want to appear at the left edge of each page.
If necessary, reduce the Page Setup dialog box to just the
Columns to Repeat at Left text box by clicking its Collapse/Expand button.
4
Click OK.
You can preview the worksheet to determine if the print titles
are set up correctly.
To clear print titles from a report if you no longer need them,
open the Sheet tab of the Page Setup dialog box and then delete the row and
column ranges from the Rows to Repeat at Top and the Columns to Repeat at Left
text boxes before you click OK.

Is it "I look forward to speak with you" or "I look forward to speaking with you"?
Which one is grammatically correct?
Best Answer -
Chosen by Voters
It is definitely the second solution and I’ll tell you why.
After a preposition you use the participle of a verb.
I dream of going on holiday.
I am afraid of sitting on a spider.
I am interested in hearing more about playing the piano.
Now “to” is a very tricky word.
I want to eat an apple.
I look forward to eating an apple.
Simple check, replace the verb with a noun
I want an apple, but I look forward to the holidays
I want something, but I look forward TO something.
In the sentence “I want to eat an apple” to eat is the infinitive
but in “I look forward to ...” the TO belongs to the phrasal verb.
This simple check should help you.
He used a hammer
He is used to the cold
He used to be afraid of spiders, but
He is used to being made fun of.

What is the difference between on time and in time?"
What is the difference between on time and in time?"
"What is the difference between in the end and at the end?"
Michael Swan’s excellent Practical English Usage (Oxford
University Press), provides a succinct answer to both of these questions:
"On time = at the planned time; neither late nor early:
Peter wants the meeting to start
exactly on time.
In time = with enough time to spare; before the last moment:
He would have died if they hadn’t
got him to the hospital in time." p. 450
"In the end = finally, after a long time:
In the end, I got a visa for
Russia.
At the end = at the point where something stops:
I think the film’s a bit weak at
the end. p. 450

Salutation in a Business Letter
If you know the person's name:
Dear Ms / Miss / Mrs / Mr /
Dr + surname

You can also write the
person's full name. In this case, leave out the title (Mr/Mrs). This way of
writing the salutation is very handy if you don't know the gender of the
person.
Dear Chris Miller

person's name:
There are several possibilities to address people
